Where: Texas · approx. 26.38, -98.82 (vicinity only)
Why this spot: 1890s+ Sanborn-mapped town on The Rio Grande, at an old steamboat landing on the lower river
What turns up: Steamboat-landing and riverbank dumps with border-trade bottles, Mexican ceramics, and 1890s glass from a lower-river shipping point; privy pits behind the old brick commercial buildings near the landing
Access: Gray area.
The Rio Grande is a navigable boundary river; the state owns the bed to the gradient boundary and the International Boundary and Water Commission oversees the channel, so river-margin digging is restricted and federally sensitive. The Antiquities Code of Texas protects state land. Private lots need the owner's permission.
